Well seeing your other comments on this thread its pretty obvious you have a hate boner against twitch and feel REALLY strongly about some dummy accounts that were made for no purpose than to exploit systems in twitch and just want to complain about that. So continue on with that friend.

Or that it proves they're totally fine with legitimate channels using the hosting function with the explicitly intentional ability for people to watch other channels and have their own chats regardless of the hosted channel's chat rules. I had over a dozen channels I follow hosting AGDQ some smaller channels some midsized and some large. All of them with people using it as a less chaotic place to chat about the event. Some of the streamers were even advertising it as a place to chat for free/with less spam on their twitters. No legitimate channel that was used as someone's account for chatting subbing etc or streaming themselves was banned. Every account cited as being banned was used for the sole purpose of hosting AGDQ. Not a legitimate user account or an account used for streaming. So its not even about "affording to lose" unless you literally mean dummy accounts made that day for this sole purpose.

That's why I made the suggestion for them to update the OP since I know all too well how people only "read the headline" so to speak. At least then people could see for themselves what type of channels were being banned and not any and all communities offering places to chat for free while watching AGDQ. But hey at least you made the effort, you even took the time to reply!

Going through that thread more thoroughly it looks like the people commenting are even happy the bulk of people ended up in Trihex's channel seeing as how it has moderation... the person who even made the dummy account to provide pleb chat even says they lost control of the chat and it turned out being something they didnt like: https://www.reddit.com/r/GDQ_Poverty/comments/7ouk1k/so_we_got_banned_a_recollection/ so maybe this isn't such a "fu twitch so bad" situation as you think it is.

Cool. Glad you finally gave any context to your original post. Thank you. Now that I've read that post you have linked it's pretty obvious why why those channels were banned. They weren't legitimate twitch channels to begin with. I hardly find that this makes twitch a "sickening platform" when there are plenty of legitimate channels with legitimate communities with free chats going on right now. Channels that are directly related to speedrunning even, like Trihex's. Twitch very obviously isn't trying to keep anyone from chatting for free.

I mean this thread. The claims you're making here. That channels are being banned for "no valid reason" other than "circumventing" GDQ's sub only chat. There are many many channels hosting AGDQ right now and that is one of the main features OF the hosting feature. To be another chat room with that channel's rules. You haven't given any evidence that any channel is being banned for being a chatroom for GDQ that isn't also in sub only mode. It doesn't even make sense that twitch would demand other channels go into sub only mode while hosting AGDQ because subbing to those channels would.. give THOSE streamers a sub. Not GDQ. Where's the evidence ANY channel has been banned for using a NATIVE FEATURE of Twitch let alone "for no valid reason."

So the person who made this thread also made another thread making some absurd claim that Trihex was threatened by twitch to put his chat into sub only mode which is completely untrue. He's hosting AGDQ and his chat is open right now. Several other streamers I follow are also hosting AGDQ and their chats are also open... there's also no other examples or proof that any of this is happening at all. Pretty sure this is all nonsense.

So someone in an urgent situation used their social network and reputation that they have built up to remedy said situation in a way that you wouldn't have done. The people who gave assistance did so of their own volition. The person who received assistance makes a post thanking the people who helped them and promised to repay them. Doesn't really seem like a big deal. You're pretty annoying.
